Peabody Museum in Andover, MA; and director of development for the Peterborough Players. From 1985-1990, she was the executive director and registered lobbyist for ARTS 1000, New Hampshire’s arts advocacy organization, and from 2002-2013, served on the board of New Hampshire Citizens for the Arts, its successor.

She is currently a member of the Sharon Arts Center Advisory Board.

Now “retired,” she is trying to find time to get back to painting.
